Hi
I know this sounds too simple, but you just pull the table top apart.
The brown clips are just for alignment
If the leaf hasn’t been removed for a long time, you might need to tug a bit, but the table will just open. That’s all there is to it.
There are some other things you want to know about this table , btw.
To use it as a bed, you need to replace the long posts with short posts. Hopefully, you received these with the boat. You cannot use the table as a bed without these.
Next,,
Removing the table from the posts isn’t easy. It’s quite heavy, and is a 2 person job.
When you lift it up, you have to lift dead straight, or the posts bind up with the housings under the table. There is a tendency for the posts to lift up with the table, instead of remaining in the floor sockets. Then, they will fall out, and make dents in the floor
2 tricks…
You want to put a light layer of silicone grease around the tops of the posts where they go into the table sockets. This will make it much easier to remove the table
Next..,
I drilled & tapped 1/4-20 threads into the floor sockets, and have grub screws that hold the posts in place so that when I remove the table, the posts stay on the floor, and don’t detach with the table
Lastly, you will need to check if the table sockets actually line up with the floor sockets when the table is in its lowered position. Mine had to be moved, as Hunter installed them wrong. If you need more guidance, PM me.
